Hi all,
My work partner and I we started our window cleaning round properly after the last few weeks just doing the odd customer as they trickled in, for the last month or so we have been out flyering and advertising hard, and we have managed to pick up 30 customers in the last month.
Full of enthusiasm we started on Monday, rightly or wrongly we have not charged a first clean price, but being sticklers for a good job every house was was you Ubix’d and cleaned.
We averaged 6-7 houses each day, all went well and had some fantastic feedback from all our customers either on the day or by text, I found it a little tiring but all was good.
We had four days of work finishing with seven larger houses on the Thursday and OMG I feel exhausted!
I have been a decorator for the last 10 years so I’m used to manual work but I must say it’s harder than I thought it was going to be. Also after four days I have about £200 in my pocket and (£200 in my work partners in my pocket), I know these are first cleans and next time should be much easier but wow I just wasn’t expecting it.
i know maintenance cleans are quicker but still feel we have to speed up a lot to hit a decent wage.
I won’t lie I used to see the window cleaner waving that pole about, then 10mins later he was gone with his cash, but my my, respect the window cleaner, it’s tough!
